Hey Tina,
Thanks for your responses. It is quite interesting. Yeah I do think every individual can have his/her own opinion and judgement, since a memory of a nation consists of everyone’s memory. But the interesting point is that among all those individual ideas, how can we as a whole find out a point to bring all of us together.
My name is 陈科蓉, is it still familiar to you? 😀
well, I say in all the cultures, more or less, there is a concept to distinguish the self from the others. Sometimes, using the whole to define individual may bring people illusion of sense of belonging. I say that the belief or social value rooted in Chinese history may cause this phenomenon. After all, there is still long way to go to realise the ideology of cosmopolitanism.
When you mention that you want to “tell people what we Chinese think”, isn’t it too general? You may say that mostly Chinese culture is considered collectivism, then how is individuality of Chinese fulfilled in the past and nowadays ? Taoism also supports the idea of release and balance of natures. It is a good idea to introduce Chinese culture from “common thing”, but how to balance this commonness and uniqueness can be a good approach to look at Chinese culture.
Well, personally I think if u go to Lijiang in Yunnan, you definitely cannot miss Yulong Snow Mountain. it will take a while to get there from actual Lijiang, but there are some other places to check during the trip to the mountain. Lijiang is famous for it’s bars. So it is more commercial nowadays. If u can spend longer in Yunnan, Dali and Kunming are also great place to go. But It will take half a day from Dali or Kunming to Lijiang by bus.
After sending more than half a year in US, I realize it is impossible to fully enjoy my life without Chengdu food and Chengdu night life. Cannot wait to go back to Chengdu for my summer holiday!!!!!!
Hey there,
which lijiang u wanna go? There is one in Yunnan, another one in Guangxi.
Both of them are worthy of being visited. Personally, prefer the one in Guangxi, in a city called Guilin.
Let me know your concerns. Good luck!
